Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee To a new visitor at Flint GC, the first is a very intimidating hole.

From The Fairway The green is cut into a hillside so, if your tee-shot does not carry all of the 219 yards, It will roll down the hill into the rough, leaving you with a tricky chip back to the green.

On The Green From the 10th it shows even less mercy as it is 249 yards!.

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee This relatively straight par 4 is a lovely driving hole.

From The Fairway It's fairway slopes from right to left therefore your ideal tee shot is right of centre, but there is a lone tree in the middle of the fairway waiting to catch an inaccurate drive.

On The Green The second shot is to a green that drops off to the back and left.

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee This is a short par 5 of only 485 yards, But the fact that it climbs approximately 70 feet from tee to green makes it play longer, the tee shot is down a corridor of trees.

From The Fairway The second shot requires a straight shot as there is a copse of trees and rough to the left and a large oak to the right.

On The Green The third shot is to a two tier green which requires an accurate shot especially if the flag is on the back tier.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee This is a right angle dog-leg left. It requires an accurate tee shot to the dog-leg, or if your feeling brave, you can drive the corner to the green.

From The Fairway

On The Green The second shot is to a green protected by two ponds and a bunker.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee This is a par 3 which is protected by three bunkers.

From The Fairway The tee shot is all about club selection as winds are quite often not realized until you reach the green.

On The Green The members tip is to look at the flag on the 3rd to see which way the wind is blowing.

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee This is one of the testing holes here at Flint GC. It measures 450 yards and is a slight dog-leg right.

From The Fairway It requires a very accurate tee shot as there is O-O-B to the right and a line of trees to the left.

On The Green The second shot is to a green which is set at the bottom of a slope which is blind from back up the fairway.

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee Once again you are driving down a corridor of trees. The fairway slopes from left to right with rough on the right ready to catch any inaccurate tee shots.

From The Fairway

On The Green The green is cut into a hillside, so if you miss it the the right, it will run down the hill into the rough leaving you with a testing chip shot back. This green is one of the hardest greens to read.

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee This hole is without doubt 'one of the hardest par 4's in the county'. My description is based on playing this in regulation (which many players do not do).

From The Fairway With O-O-B to the left and right of this entire hole, your tee shot is to a gap in the fairway which at one point measures approx 30yards across.

On The Green The second shot is long and narrowing to the green which has O-O-B on three sides.If you par this it will feel like a birdie!

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway

On The Green A par 4 of 253 yards which is drivable for the longer hitter, but there is a bunker awaiting any stray shots. This is a large green with plenty of subtle breaks.
